1962 Ford Zodiac | Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire

The Zodiac was the best-appointed of Ford of Britain's large six-cylinder saloons, offering family-car size with richer trim than its Zephyr sibling. Its long bonnet and upright cabin place a scene in early 1960s Britain at a glance. This car is grey with a red interior. The sober paint suits a period street, and the red trim gives interior shots a warm note, especially with the doors open. A 2.5-litre petrol engine sits under the bonnet, and the cabin seats six, so a whole party can travel together. Period film and television work benefits from a saloon that carries its era without props. Photography and fashion shoots have broad bodywork and a roomy cabin to use, while events gain from its formal presence. Weddings and personal hires are a good match too. The car is based in Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire.
